BCDVideo has released a new line of networking switches called Rigid Networking, for outdoor and customisable security use,the US company says. BCDVideo says that it’s the first to combine performance and price with a rugged, multicast product.
Tom Larson, Director of Sales and Engineering at BCDVideo, said: “The value that the new Rigid Networking series provides comes from its edge-only deployment capability. The Rigid Networking switches extend the network outdoors for parking garages, street poles, and other remote locations.”
The product is environmentally hardened to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees F to 167 degrees F. Up to eight PoE+ (Power Over Ethernet) ports allow the switches to tap into existing equipment and offer central power management for each device. The products offer multicast capabilities, redundant power, and port naming. And, the fanless design protects data from dirt and dust.
Jeff Burgess, President of BCDVideo, said: “Our introduction of Rigid Networking will offer the most cost-effective solution to almost any environment. These switches are built for mobile and remote video surveillance applications. Nothing else on the market matches their performance. With the announcement of our Rapid Networking products, customers can focus on how best to protect sensitive infrastructure and the public, rather than with network-related issues that tend to plague these remote surveillance deployments.”
The Rigid Networking products come with a five-year warranty. Visit https://www.bcdvideo.com/rigid-networking/.
